Founder and startup consulting

For the first hundred decisions — the ones that quietly set your ceiling. We help you choose the systems, tools and processes you will not have to unwind in a year.

The situation

Early tooling decisions are cheap to make and expensive to reverse.

Most early teams do not have a systems problem. They have a decisions problem: eleven tools chosen under time pressure, each one sensible on its own, none of them talking to the others.

By the time it hurts, the data lives in four places and the person who set it up has moved on. We would rather be in the room for the decision than the migration.

What happens

Four sessions across a few weeks, at your pace.

SESSION 01

See what you have

A clear view of every tool, cost and manual step in one place. For most founders it is the first complete picture they have had.

SESSION 02

Find what is holding you back

We work out together what is slowing everything else down, so your effort goes where it will count.

SESSION 03

Decide what to build and what to buy

A straight recommendation on each system, with the thinking kept alongside it so you can revisit the choice later.

SESSION 04

Put it in order

What to do now, what can wait, and what to leave alone, with owners and dates attached.

What you walk away with

A clear picture of how your business runs today
Confidence about which systems to invest in and which to skip
A practical plan you can act on at your own pace
Fewer expensive decisions to unwind a year from now

When this is not the right fit

If you already know what you are building and need hands on the keyboard, a consulting engagement is the slow way to get there. Say so on the call and we will point you at the shorter path.

If the problem is that your team does not yet trust the tools, start with AI education and training instead.

Start with the decision that worries you most.

Thirty minutes. We will tell you whether we are the right fit, and who is if we are not.
